The scariest creature I have ever read about! If my memory serves me right they a group of kids ventured into tunnels under a high school and wound up getting lost and confused about which way to get out. There was history down there of kids partying and trashing it up and sometimes never surfacing again. Anyway, one by one the teens get picked off by a red tornado-like mist that picked them up and squeezed and twisted them into impossible angles. Bones cracked and snapped and there were definitely screams of agony. I couldn't imagine the fear knowing that you might be next or watching your friend or boyfriend get eaten by this wicked thing. All I know is that the book scared me. My heart was beating so fast. At some points I had to stop reading and I was reading in the daylight! It scared me more than zombies do. If you knew me this would be unimaginable because I loath zombies. I can't stand to see them limping along bedraggled with their limbs awkward and their mouths foaming with blood. They freak me out to the point of panic attacks but I'm sure that if there was a movie about this red tornado creature I would be really flipping out to the point of CPR. No lie!
